Abstract
Thickening is efficacious and commonly recommended for oropharyngeal dysphagia and gastroesophageal reflux. Little is known about parental experience with this practice. Results of this cross-sectional questionnaire study suggest attitudes are positive, but parents frequently adjust recipes/nipple sizes, which might increase aspiration risk. Clinical follow-up is essential to ensure safe feeding.
